Popular myths of cleaning and the truth for them

Each of us has a clear idea of cleaning, preparations, how to clean the various surfaces, and many other claims we have accepted for facts without thinking about whether they are truly true. We decided to gather the most popular myths about cleaning and tell you the truth about them.

Bellina is the best detergent

Bleach

It’s not true, it’s just a disinfectant. It kills microbes and bacteria and certainly successfully destroys the mold but is not the most suitable preparation for everyday use. It’s not a good idea to use it to clean the worktops or kitchen utensils, and you certainly can not clean the floor and the furniture because it’s almost certain that you will damage them.

A large quantity of detergent results in perfect cleaning

It is clear that a complete sink with dishes cannot be cleaned with a drop of detergent, so it would be more effective to sap well, wash the dishes and then rinse them thoroughly. However, this practice is not suitable for surfaces that can not be thoroughly rinsed with clean water. In such cases, it is inappropriate to use an excessive amount of detergent because you will not be able to remove it altogether, and with it the dirt it is intended for.
